Help! Astronomy Show From The 80's?, Looking for show Title Options

[dvandorn]

I've been watching the updated series and the original narration is entirely intact. There are, indeed, new computer-generated graphics, but more impressively, there are numerous images from the Voyagers, Galileo and Cassini that had not been acquired yet at the time Cosmos was originally produced.

For example, at one point Sagan is speaking of the outer planets, and his narration only discusses Jupiter and Saturn. But the images went on to show Voyager 2 and HST images of Uranus and Neptune, including the famous Voyager 2 Neptune rotation movie.

While there aren't any Saturn images from Cassini in the updated series, they do use Cassini's Jupiter encounter movies.

Oh, and there are quite a few Pathfinder and MER images of Mars in the appropriate segments.

The producers did a fine job of merging the new imagery into the existing narration.

That's a relief to hear.  Then I might just go ahead and order the DVD's now.  I remember growing up with his series, and I've even managed to lay my hands on the soundtrack (or a partial, perhaps).  Unfortunately, the version I recorded off of TV several years ago has finally worn out, the tapes having broken and frayed from so much usage.

I've got the CD's - but they were a gift before Tempel I, so they might have additional updates. They haven't changed them (Carl's attire is dated) - only added comments at the beginning of the -rare- episodes where significant changes in the science have occurred.

Thanks for the try guys.

My next try will be to email the network to ask them. See if that works.
